About SMIDX
The SMI Dynamic Allocation Fund is a mutual fund designed to pursue total return by dynamically allocating assets across multiple major investment categories. Its primary objective is to adapt to changing market conditions by employing an Enhanced Dynamic Asset Allocation strategy. This process utilizes several trend-following mathematical techniques to adjust the fund’s exposure among six key asset classes: US equities, international equities, fixed income securities, commodities, alternative investments, and cash or cash equivalents. The fund achieves its diversified exposure primarily through investments in exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and other mutual funds, aiming to participate in favorable market trends while mitigating losses during downturns.
Notable features of the SMI Dynamic Allocation Fund include its quantitative, rules-based approach, which is designed to respond proactively to shifts in economic cycles such as inflation, deflation, growth, or recession. The fund’s asset mix is reviewed and adjusted regularly, with the goal of being positioned in asset classes attracting positive momentum and reducing exposure to those facing adverse conditions. This flexible, tactical style places the SMI Dynamic Allocation Fund within the tactical allocation category, offering investors a professionally managed solution that seeks to balance risk and return across diverse market environments.
